I wanted to make a big change, lightening my hair with balayage and a fresh shag cut. Elaine understood the assignment! She expertly and meticulously sectioned, lightened, and toned my hair, maintaining my hair's integrity and health. I am so pleased with the result and will definitely book more appointments in the future. Everyone on staff was kind and helpful. All around good vibes. Also, a great place for cute accessories like jewelry, sunglasses, etc.

Larkin cut 6+ inches of my hair and cut it so that even I - an incredibly low maintenance don't-even-brush-my hair person - can keep it looking good! My daughter and I both go to vain and neither of us have ever had a bad experience. My daughter sees Hailey who is also awesome and does fun stuff to my teen's hair.

I've been going to this shop for a while now, but this was my first time working with Ella, and I…read morehonestly couldn't be happier with the experience. I came in for a lock repair and reattachment service, and the level of care and attention to detail she brought to every row was incredible. She was extremely thorough, patient, and intentional in her work, and it really showed in the final result. Ella also did a great job answering all of my questions throughout the process, explaining what she was doing and why, which made me feel really comfortable and confident in her expertise. This is hands down the best I've felt about my locs after a repair service. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality, thoughtful loc care.

I've had the good fortune to be an Ella & Oz customer for three years and recently went in for…read moreradical color change -- dark strawberry blonde to platinum blonde. That put me in the hands of master colorist Jessica, who is excellently knowledgeable, honest about level-setting expectations, and has an admirable focus on hair health (given that I was requesting almost white-blonde hair from a previously dyed base color). She accomplished remarkable results in one sitting, with some clever improvisation, though I needed a second appointment to reach full platinum (due to the condition of my hair). Notably, because this is an Aveda salon, my hair texture remained super soft despite the intense bleaching. They really care for your hair and give you guidelines to maintain it. My second appointment was with Brad, who is a recent hire, gifted colorist, and very pleasant company. He took me to full platinum and gave me advice for keeping my hair color icy. I was more than pleased with the results. I'd like to add a special shoutout to Acacia, who manages appointments and makes you feel very much at home. The vibe in the salon is relaxing and spa-like -- which is a mercy during lengthy color appointments. Cannot recommend this place enough, especially if you are committed to natural, vegan hair care.

Unfortunately, the owner, Frank, completely ruined the experience. While me and my stylist were having a normal conversation during my appointment, at a volume needed when someone is behind you so they can hear you n vice verse, Frank interrupted to complain that we were "being too loud." Instead of handling it respectfully, he became rude, hostile, and unnecessarily aggressive toward both of us. He even threatened my stylist, telling her she could pack up her things and leave if she didn't want to follow his rules, which was completely inappropriate and embarrassing to witness as a paying customer. The atmosphere was extremely uncomfortable and controlling, and his behavior toward two Black women simply having a conversation in a salon environment felt deeply disrespectful. Rather than creating a welcoming space, he acted personally offended and seemed determined to assert power and intimidate us. It's unfortunate because the stylist herself was talented and professional, but I would never return or recommend this shop because of the owner's behavior. No customer should be treated with that level of disrespect during a service they're paying for.

I requested classic indie girl…read morebangs, and heavily stressed that chunky face framing pieces were necessary, since I wear my hair up a lot. Everyone knows what I'm talking about, the high bun and bangs look. After she was finished the stylist told me she decided I would look better with a U shaped bang with no face framing. What she called a "health trim" ended up being 4-5 inches off of my hair and a top layer that makes me look like I have a bowl on my head. What kills me is I told her I had recently lost my job and really needed a boost to help me through interviews. I am now wearing thick headbands every day to cover the bangs, and the layering looks terrible. I can't afford a wig and the six months I spent growing my hair out is lost. My self esteem really didn't need this and I strongly suggest that people not go to the West Seattle location.

In retrospect I remember that Antonio did Not show me the back of my head! It was days later when the other nurses I work with commented on how bad the back of my head looked and asked why none of the grey was blended into the rest of my hair, causing it to have a tacky chunky look. Please keep in mind that I had a lengthy consultation before my hair was touched and I expressed wanting a medium size foil and used my fingers to show how wide I wanted. He also said that his partial foils start at the temples to crown. Antonio ONLY foiled my hair from crown to cheek bone and so I had only a layer ( few inches ) of color on top. HE NEVER PUT ANY COLOR IN MY GREY HAIRLINE Keeping in mind that I was so blinded by his phenomena haircut and blow out that I kept telling him how much I loved it. After I saw the back of my head and had negative comments about the color I messaged him about how bad the color is and I sent him the exact same pic of the color that I am posting on here. Desperate to get halfway livable color I convinced myself to give him a benefit of the doubt that he could correct his work, I told him I would let him touch it based solely on his reviews. In r retrospect my guess is that the reviews are either very old or faked. Ultimately he refused to refund me one penny and offered to put a toner on. That's rediculous because what I needed was More bleach not darker. Keep in mind that I showed him pictures of the color I wanted during the consultation. Then he said that he would charge me $220 dollars to fix it. What I need is a COLOR CORRECTION. I'm getting upset writing this review. I didn't want the negative energy of reliving all of this but kept imagining some poor woman having him color her hair for the holidays and felt an obligation to let you know precisely what he did. These pic were taken a few days after the color and are the same ones I sent him when I asked for refund. Darn it I am noticing that there's no option to post pics here but I'll post them on Yelp.com

I went in on a Friday afternoon and in the rush to leave, Lan seems like she took a few short cuts…read more It's my first time hair dying with Lan. I went in not knowing much about color and feel a little taken advantage of. I was clear in the beginning I didn't want red / yellow tints in my hair which is what I ended up with. We could've added more glaze to cover it up but Lan wanted to leave for the Friday. When I said the result was too orangey, she said my hair would change in the sun and her lighting was warm and it only looks like that in the top part of my head because that part is much more dense. I went to another salon to correct the color who thought I'd done it myself from a box. They told me that it was strange that Lan didn't use foil to lighten the hair and the lightest hair would get with that method was orange. They said the only reason to not use foil is the amount of time it took which checked out with how rushed it felt. I had to go to another salon and sit in a chair for six hours to take out the remaining red Orange with foil. I was also told the color job was uneven and was lifting unevenly. Overall it was a total waste of money and a half ass job. Instead of owning up to anything, Lan gave me excuses saying the uneven application made it look natural, etc. She was super friendly and personable though.

Just got my monthly haircut at Ry's, and after a couple years of being a client, felt like it was…read moretime to add my review. Ry is a top-tier professional and craftsman in the hair business. When I came to his studio, I had just left another barber after a bad experience, so I was pretty wary of trying a new barber. Ry put my mind at ease with his attention to detail and nailing my haircut on the first try (and every visit since then). I have straight, thick Japanese hair, and it's very easy to tell when an unskilled or undisciplined barber cuts my hair - with Ry it has been spot-on every time. Ry's Studio is a laidback, single chair, live-work shop that shares a space with his lovely family and two dogs. The vibe is friendly and comfortable, but not all up in your business like some barbershops. If you're used to chain barbershops or shops in the suburbs, he might seem a little expensive, but I shopped around for a while in this area and all the high end shops have comparable prices. If you need your hair to be on point and want to be confident in professional consistency, Ry is the guy. One tip: Because this is a live-work studio with dogs, he keeps his door locked. Just give a firm knock on the door and Ry will let you in.
